Brazil v Paraguay Betting Preview – World Cup 2018 Qualifiers 28th March

Brazil put in a brilliant performance in beating Uruguay in their World Cup 2018 qualifying campaign last week. After going behind in the game, Brazil ran out 4-1 winners to open up a seven-point lead at the top of the CONMEBOL World Cup qualification table. That’s a seven-point lead over second-placed Uruguay. Paraguay earned a 2-2 draw against Brazil earlier in the campaign and are just on the outskirts of the qualification spots, so need to produce something special after a win over Ecuador recently kept their hopes alive.

Brazil v Paraguay Betting Tips

Brazil could guarantee themselves a place at Russia 2018 if they go and win in his one while other results go their way. They have been in tremendous form lately and they will look to follow up on that epic 4-1 away win over Uruguay last week as they play host to Paraguay in midweek. Brazil have gone W5 D1 in their home games so far in World Cup 2018 qualifying and the Selecao have taken a clean sheet in half of those games. Paraguay isn’t a big offensive threat and Brazil to win to nil at Coral is trading at a good 8/11 price which has appeal. The Brazilians took a 2-2 away draw against Paraguay earlier in the qualifying campaign, and they have actually now drawn each of their last four games against them. However, Brazil are running so hot right now, it’s hard to see them not go out and win this.

Brazil are currently on a seven-match winning streak of form ever since their surprise loss against Peru in the Copa America last summer. They have been going so well and they have netted at least two goals in each of the seven games in that sequence as well and they have secured a 3-0 success over Argentina and that 4-1 win over Uruguay in their current form too. The Selecao have scored eight goals in their last two home games alone and in the Coral Correct Score market a Brazil 2-0 result is a 5/1 option while a 3-0 is a price of 11/2. Neymar, who has five goals in World Cup 2018 qualifying so far is 13/8 outright favourite in the Coral First Goalscorer market. For some reason, Brazil have struggled against Paraguay having gone just W2 D5 L3 against them, but they are likely to deliver here.

Paraguay just about kept their qualification hopes alive with a home win over Ecuador last week, but a defeat in this one could see them really struggling with just the four games left to play afterwards. They are three points away from the automatic qualification spots without bringing goal difference into play, and they are the second-lowest scorers in the group. Paraguay have averaged exactly one goal per game in their campaign and only Bolivia (who Paraguay lost against back in November) have managed fewer than their 13 goal haul. Paraguay have gone W2 D1 L3 out on the road in the group, scoring just the four goals in total in those six games. Their top scorer in World Cup 2018 qualification is Dario Lezcano with four, and he is a price of 11/2 in the Coral anytime goalscorer market.

Brazil v Paraguay Predictions

Brazil home win: The Brazilians are just scoring for fun the moment and the way that they destroyed Uruguay was impressive. They should have no troubles on home soil going against Paraguay who are the second-lowest scorers in qualification with an average one per game. Brazil should trump that easily.
